Donald Trump to withdraw US from Arms Trade Treaty
US President Donald Trump has said he will withdraw his country from the international Arms Trade Treaty.
...
The origins of the treaty, which sets out international rules for sales and transfers of everything from small arms to large planes and ships, dates to the George W. Bush administration. The agreement was negotiated under the auspices of the United Nations and signed in 2013 under President Barack Obama but has never been ratified by U.S. lawmakers.
The treaty seeks to prevent illicit arms transfers that fuel destructive conflicts, making it harder to conduct weapon sales in violation of arms embargoes. About 100 countries — including U.S. allies in Europe — have ratified the treaty, while more than 30 others have signed but not ratified. Countries that have shunned the treaty entirely include Russia, North Korea and Syria.

Erdogan Says Deporting Armenians Was ‘Appropriate’ at the TimeTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the deportation of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century was “reasonable” at the time.
...
Armenians say 1.5 million ethnic Armenians were killed from 1915 to 1923 in a deliberate campaign of genocide in Anatolia, the heartland of present-day Turkey. Ankara maintains the deaths occurred in clashes with Ottoman forces after Armenian groups sided with an invading Russian army. The conflicting narratives lie at the core of tensions between Armenia and Turkey, which have no diplomatic ties and face each other across a closed border.

But the accusation of the takeover of Germany by right-wing extremist can be put in the realm of myths and legends. The right-wing extremist violence decreased from 1,600 incidents in 2016 to 1,054 in 2017. Of them 774 had a xenophobic background and 98 were directed against left-wing extremists or alleged left-wing extremists. The number of extremists with right-wing potential increased from 24,350 in 2016 to 25,250 in 2017. [S.24] [S.26] [S.27] [S.102]
By contrast left-wing extremist violence increased from 1,201 incidents in 2016 to 1,648 in 2017. Of them 264 were directed against right-wing extremists or alleged right-wing extremists and 1,135 were directed against police or security agencies. By contrast the number of extremists with right-wing potential increased from 29,400 in 2016 to 30,400 in 2017. Even without an increase in left-wing extremist violence they would have overtaken the right-wing extremist violence. [S.31] [S.33] [S.34] [S.49]

However migration can also be business for making money beyond labor migration. In a state with a welfare system people are provided with a subsistence level albeit to varying degrees. On the one hand you can earn money by caring for people in a social system. In addition as a result of migration employers' organizations and politicians can question welfare systems and then reduce the welfare benefits and thus the implicit minimum wage. ...

So again when employers' organizations talk about the need for migration or a shortage of skilled employers they mean something different. They want to avoid higher wages as well as the necessity and the associated costs of education, training and investments. However they are depriving the countries of origin of their resources in the form of skilled employers. And to lure trained workers from low-wage and developing countries should not be represented by leftists. ...
